Improving Days

Today was something of a better day. I’m able to take in deep breaths now; while it still hurts to do so, it’s relatively tolerable. It’s odd the things you realize you take for granted once you don’t have them. Deep breathing is a wonderful thing.

I finished another paracord bracelet today. I was trying out a pattern I’d never done before, and I had a doozy of a time trying to figure out how it went. After much ripping out and starting over, I finally succeeded in making a nice-looking bracelet. I was happy.

Speaking of bracelets, I made my first leather bracelet this past Monday. I stamped it with four images of the skull and crossbones, dyed it red, and then put sealant on it. I was proud of myself.

I think I’m in a good place of zen regarding my university alma mater now. At least I’m speaking the name out loud now, which is something I haven’t done in years. 🌞

That’s it for now. Enjoy the evening, everyone!
